Rage Gets Pushed Back Until October

RAGE, iD Software’s new FPS, originally had a release date of September 13th, though that date has since changed. The game’s official site now lists the release date as October 4th. The European release is set for October 7th.

RAGE is a first-person shooter set in the not-too-distant future after an asteroid impacts Earth, leaving a ravaged world behind. Players emerge into this wasteland to discover humanity working to rebuild itself against such forces as raider gangs, mutants, and the Authority, an oppressive government regime that has a special interest in you in particular. Featuring intense first-person action, vehicle combat, an expansive world and jaw-dropping graphics powered by id’s revolutionary idTech 5 technology.

There was no reason given for the delay, other than the fact that iD needs more time to finish up the game. We’re sure it doesn’t have anything to do with the release of Gears of War 3. Like, at all. Either way, fans are going to have to hold down the fort for a few more weeks in order to pick up the game.
